I hope the Mazda will purchase 8 with the lips as option; for instance, Toyota Corolla S. The Corolla looks like better after install lips. The reason that i always think the front bumper is miss something(lip)

And then you can install your anti-aerodynamic 'lips' on the front. After most 'ricing' mods, I'll fly by you with my stock 8.

The RX-8's front end looks fine the way it is. It looks like a blend between German understatement and Italian artistry. Very high tech looking too, if you notice the materials and the various layers of construction. Most front lips/aero kits do for front ends what chrome plated hubcaps do for wheels. Keep it stock for godsake.

Of course, with most cars today needing that add-on, the general public considers that "bolt-on" as a necessary item, just like a big-fat aero-innefficient wing.

But if you think it looks better, then who am I to argue with that?

Lips do have a use.
I mean, it makes it a lot easier to tell when you parked too close to the curb. :p

he's talking about a small airdam which would bolt (or screw) aroudn the underside of the front of the car...
these devices (air dams, i mean) are used to block air from flowing under the car, thus (as the air expands to fill the volume immediately behind the dam) creating a slight low-pressure area at the front of the car, making a bit of downforce.
he likes them 'cause they look good, and well, "look good" these days means "radically unfunctional" most often...
now, for me, i do love the look of a nice airdam, or diffuser on the front, even though the df is never used (velocity of the vehicle is too low, and generally not raced around quick road circuits); by nice, i mean something like on the front of Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R... that "lip" at below the intercooler duct with the holes in it...
